    Technologies for water management. Traditional and modern building techniques in western Sardinia

    No full text
    The research deals with the study of architecture that rule water control in countryside and devices that define a territorial network of hydraulic heritage. The aim of the research is to underline relationship between water and architecture, with a deepening on the relations between villages, countryside and different technologies of management depending by territorial characters. Water techniques can still offer extraordinary examples of sustainable process and project, where the role of technologies is that of producing forms able to control water. Case by case analysis has led to definition of an abacus of water building techniques

    Materials for sustainable transformations in weak contexts. Water and Land: technologies for a multiscalar infrastructure

    The research explores the topic of heritage between tradition and modernity, in particular water management technologies through a series of examples in different contexts of Sardinia. Through the study of that relation, the thesis provides an important item for the project of architecture in weak context where water and land are strictly related. The research has the aim to explore the multi-scalarity through that show the relationship between water and architecture, from the territorial system to the building object. The recovery of the objects in the territories could be an important way to recovery not only a building but also a territorial system

    Mind the gap. Multi-scale landscape approaches

    No full text
    The expression “mind the gap” refers to the act of paying attention to crossing pass from one element to another. In urban transformation and architecture project it is necessary to reflect on the concept of distance and crossing in particular in relation to the theme of the change of scale and especially from urban design to the architectural design and detailed design. The method is based on a deep morphological analysis of the territory and the landscape and detections of elements and invariants inside, after establishing the invariants you are able to define a formal grid that keeps continuing at all scales of design, starting the territorial scale up to reach the scale of architectural detail. Supporting this reflection may present a set of projects that participated in the competition Europan 12 which show that the multi-scale approach can be a way to control an urban transformation. The project at multiple scales can be a basis to monitor and study the existing urban form and to reflect on the possibilities of future transformations going to define development scenarios and guidelines for the territories

    Mind the Gap

    The expression ‘mind the gap’ refers to the act of paying attention to crossing pass from one element to another. In urban transformation and architecture project it is necessary to reflect on the concept of distance and crossing in particular in relation to the theme of the change of scale and especially from urban design to the architectural design and detailed design. Roberto Gambino talks about the concept of ‘scaling gap’, that is a multi-scale approach to urban design that can go through all the steps of the project and it tries to give control to a transformation. The method is based on a deep morphological analysis of the territory and the landscape and detections of elements and invariants inside, after establishing the invariants you are able to define a formal grid that keeps continuing at all scales of design, starting the territorial scale up to reach the scale of architectural detail. Supporting this reflection may present a set of projects that participated in the competition Europan 12 which show that the multi-scale approach can be a way to control an urban transformation. The site of Hoganas can be considered a research field of this approach that involves urban, rural and coastal morphologies, and their relationship. The project at multiple scales can be a basis to monitor and study the existing urban form and to reflect on the possibilities of future transformations going to define development scenarios and guidelines for the territories

    Urban regeneration of villages as an opportunity. Tools and methods in the case study of Mogoro in Sardinia.

    Il contributo illustra lo studio condotto sui tessuti alterati in prossimità del centro storico del comune rurale sardo di Mogoro, con l’obiettivo di valorizzare l'identità architettonica e urbana del villaggio e riqualificare i tessuti edilizi sul piano della qualità abitativa. La visione processuale che connota le trasformazioni e gli adattamenti delle strutture insediative e degli spazi dell’abitare e l’interpretazione della crisi della vita in città possono consentire di rivalutare le condizioni abitative strutturali dei centri minori (ecologia dello spazio domestico, bassa densità, ampi spazi aperti pubblici e privati, distanziamento sociale, coesione e sostegno sociale etc), come opportunità per un rinnovato rapporto tra uomo e paesaggio. Il Piano per il centro matrice di Mogoro recepisce lo stato di necessità dell’insediamento regionale e propone un sistema di regole aperto e flessibile che accoglie i processi modificativi coerenti e compatibili con la tradizione. Questo principio d’inclusività è alla base della strategia che mira a condizioni d’abitabilità di sempre maggiore qualità dei centri minori, mantenendone vivo il dinamismo, aspetto oggi rilevante se riletto alla luce della profonda crisi che le città attraversano, aggravata dagli effetti della pandemia. Sul piano metodologico l’oggetto della conservazione non coincide in modo esclusivo con il costruito in quanto tale, ma in quanto espressione dei principi insediativi. La modificazione si attua dentro una strategia operativa interna ai processi in atto, con l’obiettivo non di cristallizzarli, ma d’indirizzarli e ricondurli a una logica di sistema, anche utilizzando la capacità edificatoria residuale potenzialmente decisiva, come leva per produrre risultati concreti. Sul piano operativo l’approccio generale è sistemico e interscalare, seppure attraverso una declinazione attuativa agopunturale nelle azioni. L’analisi tipo-morfologia dei tessuti, l’individuazione di aree ed edifici da conservare, e la definizione di un sistema di "regole" e di tipologie d’intervento ammissibili per il recupero si traduce in un sistema di abachi analitici, delle trasformazioni e delle mitigazioni come strumenti di progetto. La definizione del quadro strategico per la rigenerazione dei tessuti si completa con una sequenza coordinata di progetti pilota con l’obiettivo della riattivazione sostenibile di alcuni vuoti urbani, unitamente alla valorizzazione della rete storica dei pozzi come carattere identitario dello spazio pubblico
